Cool campaign ideas


Advice


Okay so I am running a PbP campaign based in Golarion and the premiss is that Asmodeus has finally carried out his plan to take over the world and now the entire world has been concurred by Devils. Asmodeus now actually walks golarion and lives in Westcrown.

Now what im having trouble with is coming up with some starting adventure ideas for the campaign. The PCs are starting at 5th level. I just wanted general cool ideas, thanks!

A few things:

Even though "rock me" Asmodeus roams the planet, I am sure he does not have his thumb on every demon or non demon

So with that:

PCs could be working for a demon lord who wants to expand his control over 'x' city

PCs could be collecting on payments owed to a demon lord

PCs could be out to set things right or bring back the balance

PCs could be working for another Evil God who is jealous

PCs could be tasked to find any resistance or hold outs that fought against Asmodeus

Would isoloate the demons from the devils....as they are opposed to one another..... chaos vs law. There is a nice tie in....and you could make the world a battle now between the law and chaos...IE; Demon lords vs Devil lords....and everyone else is caught in the middle. Maybe Demogorgon or Orcus is trying to roll up on Asmo's combo and take it all over himself.

You may use an NPC to "guide" them....and then later reveal he is actually a devil or demon...using the party to do evil deeds.

I would also not have Asmo or any Demon lord actually on in Golarian. I would have they're simulacrums there instead. I have always played Devils and Demons 10x what you see in the books....when they are on they're own plains. So basically, as the book shows would be how much power they have when on other planes.... This way....no one EVER beats the them....as they are basically god status and cannot be beaten.

Just my 2 cents


Well the PCs are too low of level to be directly faceing alot of devils so I was think maybe some cool ideas for low level opponents, and right now they are all good. Eventually I want them to restore the balence and before they directly face Asmodeus they themselves will be at least demigods. Im looking for more cool scinarios. Ones a gunslinger, a bard, a fighter, and maybe an arcane caster to be added later. Im adding in a ninja PC as of right now but here is some of the info I provided to the players about the world as it is. Keep in mind that Asmodeus has had control for about 200 years now.

Asmodeus has risen. He lives in the Westcrown palace and Westcrown’s populace now largely consists of fiends. The city has a wall of hellfire reaching to the skies protecting it.

The entire world’s humanoid populace has been hunted to roughly an eighth of what it was and most are slaves. Basically if you’re not one of the noble houses of Cheliax, part of the Chelaxian army, or have enough money to maintain your freedom, you are a slave. All Devils treat you as a second class citizen and have controlled all but a few places on Golarion.

Egorian is the old capital of Cheliax and it is where the non-devil inhabitants of Cheliax basically consider their capital as the devils and humanoids are severely segregated.

Magic in any form be it divine (unless you are a worshiper of Asmodeus) or arcane is STRICTLY forbidden, the penalty being death. Intelligent undead are also outlawed and destroyed on sight. Firearms are also heavily restricted and only allowed if you are a part of the Chelaxian army, and even then it is only by permission from a high-ranking official.

Souls are the currency among devils.

Travel outside of the cities is regulated and one must obtain a travel license to leave the city.


Just a quick idea.

The Devil Occupation would not just be hated/opposed by the humanoids as you said intelligent Undead are outlawed and killed. I think a great "ally" to the PC would be a Vampire or Lich someone they know is evil and know will betray them but has power they can use as they share of common enemy.

Dragons could also fill the ally/villian role.


I would have them be in a resistance group. Either from one of Cheliax's old colonies being reclaimed or even a domestic group longing for the old devil free days.
And even if, no, especially if Asmodeus walks the earth no constable or frontier govenor would dare trouble the God of Hell over some level 5 nobodies; so you don't have to make your pcs fight a pit fiend unless they need a little humility. :-)
